Beijing is the greatest cycling city the world has ever seen. At its peak in the 1970s
and 80s, cycling claimed a 60% mode-share in Beijing. More than 3 million people
could be found riding bikes in the city on any given day, and with over 500 million
units sold the Flying Pigeon is the single most popular vehicle in history. Smarter
Than Car (STC) seeks to learn from Beijing’s past success as a bicycle kingdom.
Co-founders Liman Zhao and Shannon Bufton and Vienna-based Florian Lorenz
recently spoke with Joshua Grigsby.
